I only walk up to three dogs at a time. In the UK, it is completely normal to see dogs running free (but under control) in parks.

It usually takes a week or two before a new dog “graduates” to off lead walks. Some never do, they just enjoy their adventures on lead instead.

Pippa’s usually a blur of energy, this is one of those rare moments when she actually stopped moving. #dogs #cockerspaniel #spaniel

Rocky and Ziggy have become best buddies. They love their walks together.

Very interesting. Although it makes me a little sad that the “ball junkie” dogs I walk may play to distract themselves from stressful situations.

Maggie loves exploring a stream, right up until the water threatens to touch her belly.

Bo is an 11 month-old bundle of energy. He’s curious about absolutely everything and amazed by the whole world.

I feel very lucky to take a short break from dog walking and enjoy a holiday in Turkey. Last night, I met some new four-legged friends on the streets 🐾🇹🇷

He’s as big as a Labrador. Here’s him next to a wire haired pointer, best comparison pic I have right now.

Rocky never stops, he lives for his walks. Such a happy dog. He’s also the biggest Beagle I’ve ever seen!

I had my last walk with Billy the English Bull Terrier this week. His owners are moving away. I’ve loved walking him and I’ll miss him ❤️🐶

Ziggy’s the ultimate Sharpei. Loyal (most of the time), devoted (if no snacks around), independent (like he owns the place), and stubborn (always). All wrapped up in glorious wrinkles 😍🐶

Sydney’s seen a dog he doesn’t like the look of. Better keep an eye on them.

Cara is one of the most affectionate dogs I walk. She’s always asking for strokes between squirrel chases.

Wow they do look alike. But no, Maggie was bred in the UK with some Dutch working dachshund pedigree in there too.

Maggie loves walking in the woods. Luckily her dad walks dogs for a living, she is living the dream ❤️🐶
